Quiroga - 263

 The state of the world

Every now and then you get that longing that “every time in the past was better”, but if you investigate this longing carefully you can conclude that it is pure fantasy, because nothing indicates that the past was better than the present, perhaps, at best, the past of our civilization was better at disguising everything that, nowadays, is rubbed in our faces at all times, the abominable contradictions of the system.

Apparently, the family continues to be the cell of civilization, because what would this abstract entity that we call “world” be if not the sum of all the dysfunctionalities that are cooked over a slow and torturous fire within families, of  “good” families?

As bad as the current state of the world may seem, it is still healthy for us to see everything clearly, despite the fact that clarity violates us with ugliness.

Take your dreams seriously, take seriously the crazy ventures that have not yet come to fruition, are still in the furnace of thoughts and visions, take the time of existence seriously, you are here to experiment.
